GoldenEye is the joke, it's unplayable these days 😛

I started a thread about just such a topic a few months ago, something like "Why can't they make them like they used to" or something. For it's time though it was a fantastic game.

Frankly, I found it unplayable at the time as well, but I had already experienced the goodness of DOOM and Descent on LAN years before.

Same. My console only friends were all about Golden Eye. I thought it was average compared to Doom and Descent on LAN.

I'd say the same about ocarina and mario 64. Both are such eyesores, and the controls are barely functional by today's standards. They havent aged nearly as well as their nes, snes or gamecube counterparts, and absolutely do not belong as #1 or #2, let alone the top 10 at all.

Last year I replayed LttP...was great fun. Also went through minish cap and the orignal zelda, also great. Link's adventure still sucks, but it always did. 😛 Tried to replay ocarina, couldnt make it through halfway. Couldnt make it through an hour or majora even.

Great for their time, but they need a remake badly.

I'd say mostly the same thing about resident evil 4 - what was great about it was how realistic the zombies seemed in 2005, how creepy it was. Playing it with the lights out was brilliant. But the controls are still awful, and the story is still retarded.

And while I'm sure many have enjoyed it more, I feel that COD4's single player campaign definitely pales in comparison to Halo 3.

"Quality" and "Length" are 2 different things. CoD 4's SP was VASTLY superior to Halo 3's, although it was short.

Who said anything about length (although that certainly is a factor)?

Objectively, I don't see how anyone could claim COD4 to be VASTLY superior. If you liked it more, so be it, but the Halo 3 campaign has a lot more to offer: co-op, vehicles (on rails sections in COD4 don't count), wide open environments with large battles (and giant enemy vehicles), saved films of gameplay, etc. It certainly also has the same variety of weapons, if not more.

The COD4 campaign wasn't terrible by any means, but there isn't a lot there to separate it from any other FPS campaign.

I actually enjoy a bunch of the Halo 3 SP campaign. The main problem i had with it was I had no clue as to what was going on. They threw you into the game assuming you had played the previous 2. I took me forever to get up to speed.

Might as well just call it "Our own personal list of the 100 best games since the SNES."

Yeah, 100% subjective.

Talk about pointing out the obvious. Who saw this list and thought "Oh boy, they found a way to objectively rank video games!"?

I don't know, Ocarina and Majora still play well, I don't know how good the game might be today if played for the first time but I still replay Ocarina and Majora every now and then and it works like a charm on the 64 emulator with a 360 gamepad.

Yea and see it's pretty funny as Twilight Princess has the exact style gameplay as Ocarina did. It has not changed since then cus it still works well. Good games play well forever and Ocarina and Goldeneye still play well.

No FF7

HAH!

I always liked OoT better

 

[Oyeve]

I do agree with

1 - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)


Great game and IMO best of all Zeldas

 

[zerogear]

lol @ Halo 3. And where the heck is Contra?

Link - Edge is celebrating their 200th issue with a "100 Best Games To Play Today" list. This list encompasses all games that are available to play today from the SNES on up. Of course, this list is highly subjective but still entertaining.

The Top 10:

10 - Yoshi's Island (SNES)
9 - Halo 3 (Xbox 360)
8 - Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
7 - Tetris (Various)
6 - Super Mario World (SNES)
5 - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
4 - Resident Evil 4 (Wii)
3 - Half-Life 2 and episodic content (PC)
2 - Super Mario 64 (N64)
1 - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)

That list is so horrible it makes my eyes bleed and my head explode.

Judging from how horrible that Top 10 list is, I'm surprised they didn't have Madden 2009 in the Top 10. :disgust:

Link to the Past > all other Zelda games.

Halo 3, when you consider all of the little things like Forge, Theater, Bungie.net, is a fantastic game. There's a reason why it's still up at/near the top of the most played games on Xbox 360. The multiplayer is great. It's one game I'm always in the mood to play. I don't know that it deserves the number 9 spot, but it deserves to be up near the top.
